yes thats planed, I took my oem sliders off my FJC and shortened them up. just need to gather up some tubes to connect them to the frame. just dont know if im going to tie them in by weld or nut and bolt so i can remove them

Thay look nice. I my eye's the akuala junk I got spent big on do not fit as good or look as nice as!

finished up the metal tech fenders with some new low profile lights that i found at pep boys, they were two light one wire that I split the sockets and added another wire. worked out good enough for me..

you need a change of tires man or air down more or something, it looks dry but you have NO grip at all.

Those are new pitbulls,(very stiff sidewalls) and i aired down to 8lbs,,, about 30deg. out that morning and everything gets stiff and slippery, plus alot of leaves.

 

[CruisinFJ60]

maybe drive around your neighborhood a little at 4-5 psi to break em in some maybe less, but air down enough to get a good bulge on em. you got bead locks so around the block you will be fine not likely to loose an inner.

All I know is having em do that to me would have drove me freaking crazy, otherwise love the rig, looks capable with some traction.

classic pitbull sidewall very stiff try 3 lbs



not a fan myself especially for the price

 

[matchan420]

What are you using for springs and shocks? The problem looks to be more than the tires.

Nice rig though! Enjoy!

 

[dr_dobro]
